Exactly.  

And it's necessary to specify calling conventions so that your library 
compiled with one convention is compatible with someone else's 
application that may have been built with __fastcall.

PoshLib (www.poshlib.org) tries to solve most of these problems 
cleanly and portably, which is why I'm asking about this.  I'm glad to 
find out that __attribute__((cdecl)) seems to be prefix or suffix 
friendly.

With POSH you do:

void POSH_CDECL foo( int x );

or, if you ant DLL export to work magically as well:

POSH_PUBLIC_API( void ) POSH_CDECL foo( int x );
